Left side: humanity without @2x support
Right side: humanity with @2x support (looks just like lowdpi but crisper)

** Description changed:

  Because Humanity doesn't have support for @2x icons, some icons are
  displayed too big.  This is a general issue, but is easily noticed in a
  few examples below.
  
- In nautilus, the default window size only fits 4 columns of icons on a
- hidpi screen, compared with 7 on a non-hidpi screen.
+ In Nautilus, the icons are much too big on hidpi screends in 16.04,
+ while in 16.10 the icons are the same size but use different icons with
+ much thinner strokes.  The difference is also visible in icons on the
+ Desktop.
  
  In Transmission, the "Open" button in the toolbar uses an icon with a
  different metaphor on hidpi screens (an up arrow emerging from a folder)
  than on lowdpi screens (a sheet of paper emerging from a folder).
  
  After adding symbolic links for @2x icons and updating the index.theme
  files accordingly fixes these issues.
